Decision details

That Cabinet:

1.    Approved the Further Draft version of the Peterborough Local Plan for public consultation starting in December 2016, subject to:

·         The amendment of policy LP3, on page 17, to reflect the updated table included within the supplementary report; and

·         The amendment of page 28 to read “on all development proposals of 50 dwellings or more 2% of homes should meet Building Regulations part M (Volume 1), Category 3;” and

2. Delegated authority to officers to make any minor, inconsequential amendments to the Document prior to its publication (in order to correct matters of fact or aid clarity to the reader).

Cabinet were asked to approve the Further Draft version of the Local Plan so that public consultation could be carried out on this document. 

The alternative option of not preparing a new Local Plan was rejected by Cabinet in July 2015 as part of the approval of Local Development Scheme.

The alternative options for each policy would be assessed as part of the Local Plan Sustainability Appraisal Report to be published in December 2016 alongside the Further Draft Local Plan for public consultation. Consultation would also help inform the council of options which could be considered as the plan progressed.
